Post subject: how to detect email is saved to draft? Archived from groups: microsoft>public>outlook>program_addins (more info?)
If I open an email stored in the draft folder, I can not detect that it
came from the draft folder. The parent folder is Outbook. I'm trying
to make sure I identify emails saved as drafts so I can process them
differently. I can't consistently determine a draft either - I've
checked the inspector's saved property, entryid, conversation index and
it is not always consistent. Any help is appreciated.

If you open an item stored in Drafts then Drafts is the parent folder and
you should be able to get that. I don't know what version of Outlook or what
type of code you're using, but this simple Outlook VBA code demonstrates how
to get "Drafts" out of that item:

Sorry I should have been more clear. If I open an email in the draft
folder by double-clicking on it, thus opening an inspector, yes it
tells me that it's parent is the Draft folder. However, from the
explorer window if I right click, it lets me select reply or forward
even though it's never been sent and that is where I need to identify
it as coming from the draft folder. From the explorer window an email
in the draft folder tells me the parent is the Inbox.
Any help would be appreciated.

But what you're doing when using reply or forward on a message, whether or
not it was ever sent, is opening a brand new email message.
Any new message always have Inbox as its parent folder. It's the same thing
if you reply to a message in Sent Items, or a custom email folder or
wherever. Inbox will be the parent until the item is saved, then it's
Drafts.
